ice cream

No booze, no chocolate, no hard-to-find ingredients in this rendition of the classic Thanksgiving pie. In this recipe, we focused on the things that matter: the deep flavor of toasted pecans, a caramely custard, and the flakiest, most buttery crust ever. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

If the apples aren’t cold when you wrap them, the dough won’t adhere, so make sure to put them in the fridge before you start on the dough for this apple dumplings recipe. For added texture and more fall flavors, stuff 1 Tbsp. cranberries, raisins, or pecans into the space where the apple cores used to be.
